Izumibashi Green 1.8l is a Japanese junmai sake with rice at the centre of its identity. It is not made from grapes, but from rice, water, koji and yeast by Izumibashi Shuzo in Ebina, Kanagawa. The generous 1.8 litre bottle suits the way this sake is meant to be enjoyed: shared at the table, alongside food, over more than a single small pour.
The connection between brewery and rice farming is an important part of its character. Izumibashi works with rice varieties such as Rakufumai, Omachi, Shinriki and Yamada Nishiki, grown by the brewery itself or within its own rice-growing structure. With an 80% polishing ratio, this junmai keeps the rice expression close to the surface, giving emphasis to umami, gentle sweetness and supportive acidity.

Izumibashi Green is a Japanese junmai sake from Ebina in Kanagawa prefecture. Its identity is built around rice. Izumibashi works with several sake rice varieties grown by or for the brewery, and the house is known for keeping rice cultivation, polishing and brewing as closely connected as possible.
This sake is also known as Tonbo Green, with the dragonfly motif on the label referring back to the rice fields. The rice is polished to 80%, and the sake spends one year in stainless steel tanks at low temperature. That keeps the focus firmly on rice expression, umami and freshness, without any oak influence.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a sake with a strong place at the table rather than just a glass to sip on its own. It can be served chilled or (…)Sake Izumibashi Kuro 72cl

Sake Izumibashi Kuro 72cl
On request only
Izumibashi Kuro 72cl is a Japanese junmai sake from Ebina in Kanagawa prefecture. It is not wine in the strict sense, but sake made from rice, rice koji and water, with no added distilled alcohol. The sake belongs to Izumibashi's Kurotonbo series, also known as Black Dragonfly, with the black dragonfly on the label pointing back to the rice fields connected to the brewery.
Its identity is built around the traditional kimoto method. Izumibashi uses locally grown Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 65%, and releases this Kurotonbo only after more than two years of maturation. The kimoto approach, including the manual yamaoroshi process, gives the sake a dry, umami-rich and more mature style.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of sake we like to introduce (…)Sake Izumibashi Kuro Tonbo Green 72cl

Izumibashi Shuzo was founded in 1857 and is closely linked to rice cultivation. The dragonfly on the label refers to the rice fields surrounding the brewery, a fitting symbol for a producer whose philosophy begins in the field. Product information for this Green Label mentions several sake rice varieties, including Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, Rakufumai and Shinriki.
The rice is polished to 80%, giving this junmai room to show rice character, umami and (…)
